If I was experiencing conflict with one of my teammates, I usually try to address the issue directly and professionally. I think the most of conflicts at workplace are either from miscommunication or differing perspectives. In fact, I believe that these different ideas and perspectives on the projects can improve, broaden the insights and come up with a team with different solutions. In fact, they strengthen the power of choices to select the best possible choice while meeting the project’s constraints. I usually try to approach them in a respectful and calm manner to carefully listen to their point of view and find a common ground. For example, in my previous role, my colleague and I had different ideas about component selection for a power converter design. Instead of focusing on personal differences, I prefer to concentrate on common goals and find a compromise while meeting the performance requirements. I always aim to turn conflicts into opportunities for better collaboration.
